Warn in f? a?atr.7t partisan political
activity of every character and in
dividuals with political axes to grind
u he sounded at a meeting of the de
partment executive committee of the
American Legion at noon yesterday in
io every post oi tne organization in
Oregon.
While the American Legion never
has contended that any person ahro
gated any of his civil rights and pre
rogatives by reason of service in the
war, or that ex-service men and wo
men should not participate in political
activities, the resolution avers con
stant vigilance is held necessary to
prevent posts of the Legion, because
of energetic interest in public affairs,
from becoming instruments for purely
partisan propaganda and activity.
Fo4m AVnrned to Be C'arefn!.
William B. Follett. state command- ;
er, pointed out at yesterday's meet
ing' that it was imperative that a
warning be sent to local posts of
the American Legion because of num
erous cases which have beea brought
to the attention of department head
quarters where the innate spirit of tha
Legion has been lost sight of. tempo
rarily, in the heat of a partisan cam
paign, j
George A. "White and Prescott W. I
Ccokingham, executive committeemen,
were named to draft the resolution.
The bulletin and resolution being
mailed to nearly 100 local posts
follow: ,
In view of the numerous rases which
have been brought to the attention of the
depart men t headquarters of the American
LtlClon of efforts to introduce partisan
political activities and to foster personal
political ambitions within several of the
local posts in the, state, the following
resolution, adopted by the department ex-fM-uttve
committee at Its meeting of April
IM, IWL'O, l quoted for the information of
all posts In Oregon. It is requesieU that
this bulletin be read at the first meeting !
of your post j
Local posts are cautioned agaln.st re-
lurrent attempts of partisan polit icians
to subvert the honest purposes of the j
American I -eg Ion in Oregon to their own !
selfish, ends.
f Vigilance In Needed. !
It, 'is only by constant vigilance that j
et forts along this line can be neutralized
to the end that the legion while taking
thf most energetic interest in public af
fairs shall not become an Instrument for
purely partisan propaganda and activity.
There is no inhibition either in the na
tional constitution or in the spirit of the
legion against ex-service men and women
taking such part In political activities as
they cfeem fit. It i not contended that
any person abrogated any of his civil
Hghts and prerogatives by reason of serv
ice in the war.
But in this great organization of war
veterans, deilicated to further service not
only to our comrades but in a far greater
sense to the welfare of our country, it iw
regrettable that anyone should attempt
to bring Into our meetings and our work
any element of partisanship and selfish
interest.
It is only by clear thinking, honest ef
fort and a close adherence to our ideals
that we can maintain steadfastly the
course upon which we are bent.
I'osta. therefore, are asked to maintain
vigilance against partisan political ac
tivity of every character and to be on
the - alert for individuals who may ap
proach local posts with a political axe to
grind.
'The attention of posts i invited further
to the section of the national constitution,
which reads:
"Article II. section 2 The American
Legion shall be absolutely non-political
a nd ehall not be used for the dissemina
t ion of partisan principles nor for t he
promotion ff the candidacy of any person
seeking public office or preferment. No
candidate for or incumbent of a salaried
elective office shall hold any office In
the American Legion or in any department
or post thereof."

CO
NEVER, in history has so remarkable a
concert been given. It was a wonder
ful experience, not matched in the memory ,
of the oldest concert goers, to hear five
great pianists in one' recital.
But in addition, the playing of each of these pianistic
giants was immediately repeated by. the Ampico
such direct comparison is the most -exacting test it is
possible to devise THE MOST ACUTE EAR,
THE MOST DISCERNING JUSICAL INTEL
LIGENCE COULD DETECT NO DIFFER
ENCE. THE TWO PERFORMANCES WERE
EXACTLY ALIKE.
The great audience heard rive of the foremost living
pianists heard them in person and heard them as
posterity will hear and judge them.
As in all direct comparisons of this kind, the Ampico again proved its

THE AMPICO'S playing is the actual performance of the artist himself just as truly as if
his fingers were touching the keys. True, it is secured through a different medium
the music roll -but it is his actual performance nevertheless.

fcl Ample.
Last Tuesday evening in the Municipal Auditorium Mr. Omstein appeared
in recital, to the delight of a vast audience of Portland's musical folk.
The Morning Oregonian Wednesday, April 2 1 st, said :
"Ornstein played with superb artistry the Schuman 'Arabesque' and bowed
in response to the delighted applause and walked off the stage. Wonder upon
wonders. The piano (Ampico) bv mechanical means plaved exactlv the same
solo, with a delicacy of tone, a pure bell tone, a picture of tonal beauty all ex
actly a copy ofjhe solo of the living master, Ornstein. It was the same with the Liszt 'Rhapsodie No. 13 the
Chopin "Nocturne F sharp major and the Liszt 'LiebestraumV
It was a great'night for the two rivals, Ornstein and the "other one" the Ampico.
The Ampico is known as "The Wonder Piano." The Checkering Ampico is invariably chosen when
beauty of tone and exactness of reproduction are desired. You have only to touch the electric button and the
music masters of the world play for you and play precisely as tho they were present in
person so perfectly does the Chickering Ampico re-create their performances.
You are cordially invited to our store to hear the Ampico.
